still-dominant position as the incumbent local telephone service provider in western Canada and eastern Quebec; and good diversity of revenues among business and residential customers. The ratings are also supported by the company's conservative debt leverage; solid, albeit weakening, cash flow protection measures; and healthy liquidity. Tempering factors in Standard&amp;Poor's Ratings Services' opinion include a shareholder-friendly financial policy, which precludes debt reduction; management's willingness to pursue debt-financed strategic acquisitions; intensifying wireless competition; weakening wireline margins; and high capital expenditures.
